About this award
Xairos Systems, Inc., a Lafayette, Colorado-based quantum communications company, was awarded a $1.9M Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on July 22, 2024. Under this total small business set-aside contract, Xairos will develop a fusion Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system that integrates quantum and optical synchronization technologies within compact stable clock ensembles. The work is scheduled for completion by July 21, 2026, and will be performed in Littleton, Colorado. This definitive contract employs firm fixed-price terms and represents a continuation of AFRL's investment in Xairos's quantum timing and synchronization capabilities, building on the company's earlier Phase I efforts in quantum clock technologies.
This award reflects the Air Force Research Laboratory's strategic focus on alternative PNT systems that reduce dependence on Global Positioning System infrastructure through advanced quantum technologies. Xairos has demonstrated expertise in quantum-enabled defense applications through previous SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program awards totaling approximately $3.2M across multiple federal agencies, including NASA. The Phase II effort positions the company to mature its quantum and optical fusion approach into a system-level capability that could enhance military navigation resilience in contested environments where traditional PNT sources may be degraded or denied.
